Hypnobirthing: A Calm and Confident Birth Journey using hypnotherapy and hypnosis in Hampshire
The Art of Hypnobirthing: A Gentle Journey into Parenthood
What is hypnobirthing?
What will happen during my Easibirthing® Experience?
Easibirthing® classes are available for expectant parents and typically consist of five sessions, each lasting 1.5 hours. These classes guide couples through various relaxation exercises and techniques. They teach the art of self-hypnosis to manage discomfort during labour. The expectant mother is encouraged to enter a state of deep relaxation, often referred to as "hypnotic trance," during contractions, allowing her to work with her body's natural rhythms rather than against them. In addition to the classes, clients need to listen to a recording of the hypnosis, alternating them either daily or weekly by the end of the sessions. Sessions generally start at around 20 weeks and can either run weekly or fortnightly as you prefer.
Easibirthing® also promotes the role of the birth partner, teaching them how to create a tranquil and reassuring birthing environment. The emphasis is on emotional and physical support, encouraging positive communication and advocacy for the birthing person.
Bringing a child into the world is a transformative and deeply personal experience. Hypnobirthing is a birthing method that empowers expectant parents to embrace this journey with confidence, calmness, and a profound sense of control. In recent years, it has gained popularity as an alternative approach to childbirth, one that focuses on the mind-body connection, relaxation, and the belief that birth can be a positive and beautiful experience.
What is Easibirthing® ?
Easibirthing® is a holistic approach to childbirth that combines self-hypnosis, deep relaxation techniques, and the power of positive visualization. It is grounded in the belief that birth is a natural process, and when the body and mind are in harmony, it can be a serene and empowering event. The core principles of Easibirthing® involve:
1. Relaxation: Learning to achieve a state of deep relaxation through self-hypnosis, breathing exercises, and visualisation. This helps to reduce stress and tension, making labour more manageable.
2. Positive Affirmations: Incorporating positive affirmations and beliefs about childbirth to eliminate fear and anxiety, replacing them with confidence and trust in the body's abilities.
3. Education: Providing comprehensive education about the birthing process, anatomy and medical interventions, enabling parents to make informed decisions.
4. Support: Encouraging the active participation of birth partners to create a supportive and nurturing environment for the birthing person.
5. Natural Techniques: Emphasising the use of natural pain management techniques instead of medication, although it's compatible with medical interventions when necessary.

Easibirthing® offers several benefits:
1. Reduced Pain: The deep relaxation and self-hypnosis techniques can reduce pain and discomfort during labour.
2. Lowered Stress Levels: Expectant parents learn to manage stress, anxiety, and fear, which can contribute to a smoother labour experience.
